  • “Real products, that actually work.”

    It’s just a matter of which major company starts taking advantage first of the decent amount of trendsetters who already knows it’s mostly garbage, and decide improve their brand standing via consumer trust by making fun of it. We’re still at the phase where companies are trying to figure out what if any used there are and sift through the bullshit, so they’re scared to call it out still for fear of market reprisal or being wrong and missing something.


  • They also are represented by the same law firm who Amazon, musk and trader Joe’s use who are suing to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional, attempting to remove a small, occasional road bump of worker accountability on the road to fascism.

    Companies who are supposed to sell tents and canoe paddles, when they think workers are not important, when their entire model is based on outsourced production of cheaply produced, massively overpriced goods, also is the kind of org that doesn’t know what isn’t important.

    Like AI slop for a retailer.



  • Don’t gatekeep vulnerability. You’re buying into stuff that keeps the ultra wealthy in power. Almost everyone is “working class” and is dependent on the same things; employment from a likely crappy company, shitty healthcare, poor education, etc. Yes there are obviously groups that have suffered much more because of race, sex, ethnicity, etc., but acknowledging that life is a struggle–different but still a struggle–for most is a far cry from “all lives matter” which seems to discount the suffering of others. 99% of people can’t just pick up and leave and that’s a hard economic fact, to say nothing about the other pieces that make relocation challenging.

    I certainly didn’t say relocating wasn’t right in the face of violence and fascism, but simply saying people “should” doesn’t make it any more likely when they face very real barriers to doing so.














  • Poors will be priced out by insurance companies. A large auto manufacturer, probably Tesla will buy one of the enormous insurers and start by offering lower rates for self-driving. Many will sign up and the standard startup playbook will follow. Personal vehicles will become luxury items and then you will be required to subscribe.

    I wonder what the poor right will say when they don’t own their car anymore?maybe they will have f350 self-driving trucks too and it’ll be ok.
